The BlackBerry Tour (9630) — not to be confused with the Onyx which celebs are toting around — made a very silent launch on two major US carriers today. Unlike the Pre, which is exclusive to Sprint, the BlackBerry Tour has been announced on both Verizon and Sprint networks. The Tour will be coming to Sprint by the end of the Summer and will cost $199.99 on a two-year contract (after a $50 rebate and a $100 mail-in rebate .

This week, I watched NBC's fascinating two-part Inside the Obama White House special, where news correspondent Brian Williams took viewers on a candid tour of the West Wing — kinda like a day in the life of the Obama administration. Aside from learning about the abundance of freshly picked apples and bowls of candy in every room, Obama's favorite cell phone — the BlackBerry of course — was spotted in the hands of almost every administration employee. There are also many iPods and iPod docks, as employees are encouraged to listen to music while working.

It seems that Us Weekly is a little lax on cell phone identification — this week's Jon and Kate cover story features a shot of Kate three times with her iPhone in a pink case — but they refer to it as her BlackBerry in the headline. Oops!
This wouldn't be the first time they've gotten the two top phones mixed up — last year, they called the BlackBerry Renée Zellweger was carrying an iPhone.

Cute couple alert! Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger were caught at Cannes both peeping her BlackBerry with rapt interest. These two are used to sharing gadgets when they're dressed to the nines — last year it was with a Flip camera — and seeing them read a text or an email together reminds me not only of how much I like them together, but how often I share my texts and emails with my boyfriend.

Hot dog, y'all — the Palm Pre is finally within reach and will be hitting store shelves June 6! Obviously, I'm pretty excited to check it out for myself, but I am having a bit of an internal debate: will I fork over last month's savings for Palm's newest smartphone, or will I wait (and wait and wait) it out to pick up the latest version of the iPhone, which is surely being released the week following the Pre launch?
And to make deciding where to throw my cash even more difficult, there's word that there will not only be a touchscreen Bold coming our way soon, but a new Storm as well.

Although I have both a Blackberry and an iPhone, I find that my iPhone gets more mileage as my personal handset, while my Blackberry is used primarily for business. And it seems that a majority of people feel the same way: a recent study shows that out of 600 smartphone users, 73 percent carried an iPhone as their personal phone, while 59 percent of Blackberry, HTC, and Nokia owners used theirs for business.
So now I'm interested: do you use your smartphone primarily as your business or personal phone?
